Chapter 178: Powerless

Tesla's current life in the Northeast is called a nourishment, and he has been learning to absorb the most advanced scientific knowledge in the Northeast, and he has also learned Chinese, and later met the beautiful receptionist at the front desk, Sophia, in the real yΓ n room of Dashang Industry. With the resolute courage that seems to outsiders to be almost a stalker, Tesla finally returned with a beauty, although in the eyes of outsiders, it is more like Sophia has fallen into the clutches of the devil. This made a group of young men who didn't have time to do it, spit blood in their mouths and beat their chests.

Wang Yi heard about this lace news, but he was more gloating.

Tesla sat on the internal bus of Ningdao and looked around. He'd seen a car, but he had the impression that it was similar to a horse-drawn carriage, but the buses he was riding in were obviously much more advanced. After a sigh, Truss withdrew her surprised gaze and began to observe the scenery around her. It is said that he has become indifferent to the endless new inventions in the Northeast, especially in the big business.

The previous experience of working in the Edison Industrial Office inevitably made Tesla compare the Dashang Industrial Laboratory with it, and the biggest difference between the two is that the Dashang Industrial Laboratory not only has more complete research projects, but also pays more attention to basic research. In a sense, he has the function of a university.

When Truss came to the outside of the manor, the housekeeper Fran was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Truss, he bowed slightly and said, "Are you Mr. Truss?" I'm the housekeeper of the house, Fran, and I'm here to welcome you. ”

"Hello! Fran Steward, I'm Nicolas Truss. ”

"Please come with me, Sir has been waiting in the study for a long time."

"There is labor."

Wang Yi's study is very compact, and the most in it are bookshelves and books. As soon as you enter the room, you can smell the strong aroma of books, which is not good for asthma patients, but Truss is clearly not among them. The study had a quiet atmosphere, Wang Yi was drawing something, and there were a lot of reference books next to it. When he saw Tesla coming in, he immediately got up and greeted him with a smile, saying, "Hello, Mr. Tesla, long time no see." ”

"Hello, Chairman." Although Tesla is not very good-tempered, it does not mean that he does not know how to be polite. When he saw Wang Yi coming, he also greeted him. The two seem to be very affectionate, although they have only met each other once, but now this meeting is a bit of a basic posture.

After a polite exchange, the two sat down. Wang Yi said at this time: "Mr. Tesla, I don't know what happened to this visit?" ”

Teslai said with a smile: "I have been in the industrial studio for more than half a year, and I have learned a lot of new knowledge during this time. Recently, I had the pleasure of reading your paper on the idea of transistors, and I was deeply inspired, so I would like to ask you, the chairman, to participate in the research of the transistor project. ”

After listening, Wang Yi did not speak.

The theory of transistors is now only available in the Northeast, which is a classified project, and it is not surprising that Tesla can read it. However, transistors are not as easy to make as electron tubes. Later, in 1929, the first transistor patent was applied for by Lillian Field, but it was actually manufactured nearly twenty years later, and this was only the real room that was made. As for industrialization...... Another few more years to wait, integrated circuits, still have to wait a few more years.

Although Wang Yi has most of the processing technology of the industry in his hands, it takes less than ten years to turn them from paper into machine production lines in the factory, and Wang Yi does not have such delusions.

casually asked Tesla a few related questions, and the other party answered them well. And Tesla finally verified that the previous paper on transistors was indeed written by Wang Yi. In this way, after the two sides verify each other, at this moment, each other has a certain good impression of each other, and it looks a little emotional.

"Since you want to do it, go back and give me a report, but make it clear, if you participate in this project, before the transistor technology is lifted in the big business, I am afraid you will not be able to leave the local area of the Northeast."

Nikolai smiled and said, "Can I leave now?" ”

Wang Yi shook his head.

There is a price to pay for everything, and now that he has seen the paper on transistors, it means that Nicolas Truss has come into contact with the core secrets of the real room of the big business. While acquiring new knowledge, Nikolai also lost the right to leave the Tohoku mainland for the next ten to twenty years.

"Actually, it's good to be in Dashang, I can freely do what I want to do, even if the research and industrialization of transistors are completed in the future. I have other dream studies and inventions to complete......"

"For example?"

"The computer mentioned by the chairman!"

"That's hard." Wang Yi smiled and sighed.

"But it's a brilliant design, and if it does, I wonder what the world would become?" Tesla is full of yearning.

"Actually, if you want to develop a computer, you can do it with an electron tube."

Tesla shook his head and said: "The efficiency of the tube is too low, and because of the problem of its own material, it cannot be made into an integrated circuit that you said Chairman of the Chairman, and the computer made by them is not only huge in size, but also consumes high power, of course, the most important thing is that the calculation speed is slow and has little use value." I'm afraid they can't catch up with those abacus players in our Dashang Industrial Real Room Computing Center. ”

"They're actuaries! Even if you can build computers, you won't be able to take their place anytime soon. ”

Tesla agrees, saying that this computing center is the most important thing in the entire industrial room, and the entire center has nearly a thousand people. Every day, a huge number of jΓΉ is gathered here, calculated and proofread, and then sent back to the various real rooms. If we just rely on those researchers in the real room to do the calculations, I am afraid that just counting and calculating will stretch the entire process of a research by several times, or even dozens of times.

The two talked for a while, and then the butler Fran knocked on the door and said, "Sir, it's time for dinner." ”

Truss was naturally left by Wang Yi to eat together, and the two continued to talk about transistors and computers at the dinner table, and Lim Tae-hee and Han Xiujing, who were waiting next to him, couldn't understand the content, but felt that it was unfathomable.

Because it was getting late, Truss stayed on Ning Island, and Wang Yi and he were sitting on the rooftop at this time, chatting and sipping red wine. However, the topic of the two did not revolve around transistors and computers, but instead picked up Kim Yuna's words.

"Sir, what do you think the world will look like in the future?" Kim Yun'a, who was helping Wang Yi with a massage, asked with joy.

It has been more than ten years since "Future, Ah ......" came back, and Wang Yi has almost forgotten what the future will look like. However, he still pretended to brag and said: "I may not be able to say far away, but I am still a little sure of what the next hundred years will look like." ”

As soon as he heard this, Tesla was also interested, and he was standing on the roof with a red wine glass and looking at the lake in the distance, but then he turned around and said with a smile: "Chairman, what do you think the future looks like?" ”

"If I were to say that, I really didn't know where to start."

"Then let me ask, what will Europe look like in the future?" Tesla cares about his hometown very much, although he doesn't think Wang Yi's words will be reliable.

Wang Yi thought for a moment, and then smiled maliciously: "A large powder keg!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The rise of Germany is inevitable, just look at the current technological developments. The Germans are playing an increasingly important role, and although there are still some great scientists in Britain, there is a taste of the waning world compared to Newton's time. The rise of the Germans will inevitably have a huge impact on Europe, while the British will not let themselves lose their hegemony in all parts of the world, especially on the European continent, so the contradictions between the two will continue to accumulate until the day of escalation. ”

Tesla was born in Europe, so he also knows the situation over there very well, although he feels that Wang Yi's judgment is somewhat exaggerated, but he still nodded unconsciously.

"This is not the end of the story, once the European countries cannot manage their relations with each other after the war, a new war will be brewed again."

"Sir, don't you mean that after the first war is over, there will be a second time?" Kim Yuna frowned.

The king nodded a little.

"What about the United States?" This is Tesla's problem.

"They should be able to live well away from the land of right and wrong."

"What about our Northeast?" Tong Qianjia walked over, she had just come back from Dashang Lighting, and she was very busy with work every day, so her face was a little lazy.

"Nobody is back to provoke us now, is there? We are kind and lovely little white rabbits, loved by everyone, and flowers bloom. ”

Tesla and a few girls laughed when they heard Wang Yi's rogue answer.

In contrast to the optimism of Tohoku, Japan is now gloomy. In the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Emperor Meiji stands by a pool of water, and behind him stands Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito.

"Wang, Minister Inoue Xin has returned from the Northeast."

"How's it going?" Emperor Meiji sighed.

"Lost some money."

Emperor Meiji nodded.

"There's still the latest news coming in."

"Say it."

"Prince Gong of Daqing committed suicide by jumping off a building in the Royal Hotel in the northeast at 60."

Emperor Meiji's back moved slightly, and it took a long time before he turned around, looked at Ito Hirobumi and said, "Prime Minister, what do you think we should do?" ”

Ito Hirobumi shook his head and said, "Wang, the current strength of the Northeast is no longer what it used to be, and it is not what our country can deal with now...... I think for the time being, we should not focus on them, but rather try to avoid causing trouble. ”

Emperor Meiji did not feel good in his heart, and he was also reforming and developing, but the Northeast has left Japan far behind in the past ten years. Regardless of national strength or military strength, the two sides are not above the same grade. If Emperor Meiji still has some ambitions for the Qing Kingdom, then Tohoku feels more fear and powerlessness.
